Given that the ratio of day to night demand is about 2:1 in the US, that means that solar can shoulder about half the load without worrying about night time. Also, solar can go on rooftops all over the place - this means that the transport losses are fairly low.
I dunno about that. Seems to me that targeting multiple fringe markets is a hedge against its inherent risk, while reducing your cost basis (lots of the infrastructure will be common). The trick is making sure you don't try to scale past what you can sell.
I doubt it. A large portion of the amazon draw is that I can go there and find just about anything (and I do) rather than having to go find some place that sells technical books or getting Borders to order something for me (assuming I can find a specific title).
You're skeptical that the framers of the constitution, who had just mounted a successful revolution, thought that revolt was a good thing now and again? Think about that for a second.
Oh, and it'd be nice if the article had provided links to the opinions. 60 pages is a lot, but what the hell guys?
Amazon has a hugeass warehouse in nevada - if they moved across the border, they could keep the same people and just run a shuttle or three at shift change
From the article:
Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the majority "would have us believe that over 200 years ago, the Framers made a choice to limit the tools available to elected officials wishing to regulate civilian uses of weapons."
He said such evidence "is nowhere to be found."
Apparently Stevens needs to learn how to read. Of course the framers wanted to reserve the tools for revolution to the people.
What's funny (sort of) is how closing the automatic weapon registry made them into such good investments. You can get a full auto weapon, but it'll cost ya.
the same amendments that limit the fed from invading privacy also apply to the states, so good luck with that. Lucky me, wa.us has reasonable protections for its residents in its constitution
The reason people avoid those is fear that someone would get ahold of the materials used by them to make a nuclear weapon.
Yeah right. It's far easier to buy a nuke than it is to go develop and build a nuke of your own. This isn't something a ragtag bunch of fanatics can do under the radar.
presumably, the illegal stuff is stored on botnets to avoid pointing back to the actual collector. I poke around the seamy parts of the net, but it's all legal stuff AFAIK.
That still doesn't change the fact that the GPL is a restrictive license, and as such, is something to be avoided in favor of less restrictive options whenever possible.
Why is that? The restrictions are fairly minimal for what you get.

*sigh* what's the use in discussing with people with "green" opinions ?
Yeah, because you're so obviously right about everything. Probably watch fox news.
If what you say is true, then how come there are any non-solar plants left in the US ?
What does that mean, exactly? There are solar plants, and they do work.
please explain how this sun gets to alaska ?Don't use it in alaska, durr. Use it in New Mexico.
No, they hijacked a shipload of people bound for VA. They were aiming for the wilderness.

No, engineer pluggable batteries. If the range is 200 miles, swap batteries at the destination and keep going.

it varies according to state, county, and city. Seattle excludes staples from taxation, while Fairfax, VA doesn't.
Scalia's much better at rhetoric than I am. I'm just glad he's (usually) on my side.

the answer is that my state's constitution predates the civil rights movement, so it's reasonable to expect some redundancy.

There is also no government power to invade my privacy, so by default I have that right.
well yeah - it's way safer than coal, for instance.
after it fails, it's just a mess. Making an implosion bomb is a lot of work.
Which Paul? Original or Extra Misogynist Edition?
I still say a backpack full of tnt in the TSA line at DIA is far scarier than the possibility of someone getting enough nuclear stuff to cause harm.
You're missing the point - FISA allows warrants after the fact and has never turned down a request. The bush admin didn't even do that.
if the area is large enough, then hey - no problem!
Yeah right. It's far easier to buy a nuke than it is to go develop and build a nuke of your own. This isn't something a ragtag bunch of fanatics can do under the radar.

so do we. so what?
